Plagiarism Policy

Jurnal Suaka Insan Mengabdi (JSIM) is strictly committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism. All manuscripts submitted to this journal must be the original work of the author(s) and be entirely free from any form of plagiarism.

 

Similarity Check & Screening Process

  • Detection Software: The editorial team rigorously screens all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism using iThenticate software before proceeding to the peer-review stage.
  • Threshold: The maximum permissible similarity index is 15%. During this assessment, the bibliography/reference list section is excluded from the similarity calculation.
  • Consequences: Manuscripts exceeding the 15% threshold will generally be returned to the author(s) with a request for revision to address the identified overlaps. However, depending on the severity and nature of the plagiarism detected, manuscripts may be rejected outright at the editorial board's discretion.
  • Pre-submission Check: Authors are strongly encouraged to conduct their own similarity check using plagiarism detection software prior to submission to ensure the originality of their work.

 

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, particularly generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) for assistance in manuscript preparation (such as language improvement or idea generation), is permissible under the following strict conditions:

  • Accountability: Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all content presented in their manuscript, including any text, data, or figures generated or assisted by AI. Authors must critically review and edit AI-generated content to ensure it meets rigorous academic standards.
  • Disclosure: Authors must explicitly disclose the use of generative AI tools if they provided a substantial contribution to the manuscript's content (beyond basic grammar or spell-checking). This disclosure must be stated in the Methods or Acknowledgments section, specifying the exact tool used and the manner of its application.
  • Authorship: AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors. Authorship is strictly reserved for human individuals who meet the criteria for substantial intellectual contribution and assume legal and ethical accountability for the work.
  • Originality of AI Content: Content generated or assisted by AI must still strictly adhere to the journal's plagiarism standards. Authors must ensure that AI-generated text does not reproduce existing published work without proper citation and must pass the mandatory 15% similarity check. Failure to adhere to this AI disclosure policy may result in the immediate rejection of the manuscript.
